FISH-DRESSING MACHINE.

Patented Aug. '6, 1912'. -22, 1912. Serial No. 672,796;

To allwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I EDMUND Aucusrm'n,

SMITH, a citizen ofthe Dominion of Canada, and a resident of the city of Seattle, in the .county of King and State of Washington,

which the following is a specification.

The primary. object of the invention to obtain more perfect operations in severing the heads and fins from fish'bodies.

Further objects and advantages will be set forth as'the description progresses and those features on whichI desire. protection defined in the claims.

With reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views: Figure 1 is a-longitudinal verticalsection of a machine embodying the features of my invention, taken onlines AA and BB of Figs. 6 and 3 respectively. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the forward body guides removed. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the machine with portions of some of the parts broken away. Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the deca itating cutter and attendant mechanism. Flg. 5 is an end elevation of the same viewed from the left of Fig. 4. Fig. -6 is a horizontal sect-ion taken on line CC of Fig. 1-, with portions of some of the parts broken away. Fig. 7 is afragmentary view illustrating the relative positions of the engaging devices during the fin severing operations. Fig. 8 is a sectional view of one ofthe engaging devices taken longitudinally of one of the prongs, portions of the latter being broken away. Fig. 9 1s a longitudinal section of the inner fin severing device taken on line 9'of Fig. 1. Fig. 10 E is a plan view in partial broken section of'the outer fin severing device removed, and Fig. 11 is a vertical sectional View of the same taken on line 11 of Fig. 10.

With reference to the drawings, I have shown the main frame of the machine formed with a.top part 1, supported on uprights 2 secured-to a suitable base, and supporting circular-tracks 3., 3 which are spaced apart and secured, each to a respective pair of the saiduprights. Mounted 1n the main frame is a carrier comprising sections 4, 4; conveniently supported on the tracks 3, 3 for rotation and provided with gear teeth 5. meshing with. respective gears 6, secured to a shaft 7 journaled on the main frame. This shaft has connection, by means of suit able gearing 8,'with a shaft-9 rotatably supported on said frame andprovided'with a pulley 9 (see Fig. 3), applied to rotate the carrier in. the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 1.

The construction-"and arrangement of the aforementioned parts are the same as in my present pending application, A Serial No. 397,436. Reference numeral 10 designates a cutter provided with cutting edges 10 curving rearwardly one without the other from a common point and having angular base por tions 10 extending in relatively opposite directions. Intermediate the edges 10 is portion 11 suitably curved in cross section ata gradually increasing degree from thepoint of the cutter and extending-into a base portion-11, secured at one side edge .to a. sector shaped member 12 apertured to receive freely a shaft. 13, journaled on an extension 15 of the main frame and connected 'by gearing 16 withshaft .Pivotally connected with cutter 10 is a J stay arm 14', slotted to'receive a cap screw 17 seated in extension 15 and normally clamping said arm against the .extension'to secure the cutter from movement.

Cutter 10 is employed to decapit-ate the fish which are advanced for cutting, as will be later understood, by arms 18, 18' and 19 secured to shaft 13. Each arm 19 has its to which power' is,

'outer end portion bowed or curved to clear portion 11 of thc cutter and support the fish along the pectoral girdle'while the companion arms 18 and 18 support the head 5 and body portions respectively.

Extending lengthwise of shaft 13 at its upwardly moving side is a plate like section fing suitable openings extending outwardly ffrom its inner edge for passage of the arms =18,18' and 19 as clearly shown. Extending over shaft 13 from table 20 are bowed members 21Iwhich guide the body of the fish as advanced, the said members projecting at the opposite side of the shaft beyond the sweep of the arms to withdraw the fish body from engagement therewith, after passing the cutter 10, and guide the same for delivery by gravity to a-I lateral extension 22 of a feed waIy 22.. See Figs. 5 and 6.

the operation of decapitation, the fish,

,or table 20 secured to extension 15 and havplaced flatwise upon table 20 with its abdo- 1 served that the cutter 26 is positioned with men against the guides 21 and the pectoral girdle in the path of the bowed end portions of arms 19, is caught up by the advancing set of arms and advanced upon the cutter'10 which enters between the head and body parts with the portion 11' engaging the p'ectoral girdle to adjust the fish relatively to the edges and '10" so that cuts severing 1o thehead will be produced without cutting away undue portions of meat from the body.

" Mounted on the carrier are devices '23 arranged. in opposing relations on respective sections 4 'for grippmg the fish body and en- 15 gagin respective cam grooves 3 suitably provi ed in the tracks 3 to move the grippers 23' apart as they approach the feed way 22, in whichv the fishbody is placed upon its back and advanced tail foremost to 2013118 carrier, and move the said grippers to znggge the fish when theyreach the point of ee Y The fish body should be engaged by the grippers 23 midway the width of the tail portion, and I-therefore provide for adjustment of the feed'way relatively to the point at which the grippers close so that it may be set in accordance with the size of the fish "to be dressed. For thispurpose I preferably, pivot the feed way 22 on extension 15, as at 24., for vertical adjustment at its for. ward end, and provide anvadjusting means in the form of a vertically disposed screw 25 seated in saidextension to adjustably support the feed way at its forward end, as clearly shown. See Figs. 1 and 6.

Lying above the point of feed, within the sweep of the grippers 23, are cutters 26 and 27 and adjacent the latter, but on the opposite side of the path of't-he carrier, is a cutter 28;" The arrangement of the aforesaid I cutters being the same as disclosed for similar cutters in my aforementioned a plication and each cutter likewise comprlsln a pair of circular blades secured to suita le spindles and formed with outwardly flaring cutting rims rotatably fitting one within the other'in substantially the same manner as disclosed in my former Patent No. 796,538.

The cutters '26 and 27 are mounted on heads 26 and 27 respectivel' and connected with a shaft 29, journale on the main frame, by means of suitable gearing, including drive shafts 30 and '31 rotatably supported; each on a respective one ,of sald heads and having gear connections with shaft 29'. The heads of these cutters are supported on a bracket 32' secured to the adj ace'nt track section 3, and the connection between the cutter 26 and its driveshaft is identical to that disclosed for the cutter 27,

(see Fig. 9) in which bevel gears secured to respective spindles of the cutter are shown engaging a similar gear 27 secured to drive 65 shaft 31.

With reference to Fig. '1, it will be obits cutting edge presented for cutting adjacent the point at which the fish is fed to the machine so as to produce a cut severing the caudal fin, as in my aforementioned pending application and as willbe later understood. In the case of the cutter 28, I have shown the same mounted on a head 28' carriedby a hanger 33 swingablysupported on a shaft 25, journaled on the frame part 1 and connected-by'suita'ble gearing with a shaft 34 having driving connection with shafts 9 and 29 by means of gears as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 3. i

Associated with cutter'28'are' oppositely disposed fin guides embodying novel features which insure their engagement with the fins. Said guides including base sections 35 (see Figs. 10 and 11) secured adjacent their rear ends to respectivestems 36 journaled 011 head 28 and connected for simultaneous equal movement. in relatively opposite directions by "gear sectors 36 secured to said. stems and meshing one with thev other. Projecting forwardly of the base sections 35 are guide sections 35' having suitable connections with the base sections, as at 35 for movement to various angular positions, and resting at their forward ends.

on'the carrier sections 4 to body at opposite sides.

In connection with the fin guides I have shown a tension levice'including a sprin 37 coiled about a screw-threaded rod 37 connected with an angular extension of one engage the of the stems 36 and engaging freely in a 7 suitable aperture provided in a similar extension of the other stem 36, 'the said spring bearing against said last extension and a thumb nut 37 on rod 37 to yieldingly press the base sections 35 one against'the other at their forward ends as clearly shown in Fig. 10.

Above the guide sections 35 I have shown a means 38 for removing the fins severed by cutter 28, the same comprising oppositely disposed arms, asin mypresent pending application Serial No. 335,517, secured to a bevel gear 38' rotatably mounted on head 28' and meshing with a gear 38" secured to ashaft 34 -journaled on said head. This shaft is connected with cutter 28 by oppositely disposed gears 28, meshing with gear 38" and secured to respective arbors of said-cutter.

The head 28 is pivotally connectedwith hanger 33 concentric with'shaft 34, which is driven throughthe medium of a gear 28 meshing with gear 38" and secured to a shaft 34 journaled on said hanger and connected with shaft 25*- by gears 25.

With reference toFig. 1 it will be observed that' the head 28 is' positioned with the lower corner or heel of cutter 28 in the ar-ea path of the carrier at the forward side of the head and in. connection with the latter I have shown a counterbalancing device comprising a spring pressed angle lever 39 fulcrumed on the main frame as at 39? and pivotally connected with lugs 39" of head 28. At the iforward side'of head 28 I have provided means for engaging the fish body in advance of cutter 28 to augment the depression produced in the body by the heel of said cutter and thereby bring the horizontal fins to more erect positions for cutting, the said means conveniently consisting of convex edge portions as 40 of winged members 40 secured in spaced apart relations, for passage of the anal fin thercbetween, to an axle 40 rotatably mounted on head 28 and "connected by a train of gears 40" with shaft34.

Reference numeral '41 designates a cutter arranged in line with the center of the path of the carrier, to split the fish. and rotatably mounted on 'a frame 42 swingably supported on a shaft 43 journaled on frame part 1 and connected with shaft 34 by means of gears 43". with the arbor of cutter 41 by suitable gearing including ashaft 43' rotatably mounted on frame 42.

Extending rearwardly from the splitter 41 is a spreader of substantially the same construction and operation as the spreader described in my aforementioned application SerialNo. 335,517 and likewise swingably connected; with the arbor of the splitter and provided with extensions 44 and laterally projecting shoes 45. Weights 42' and 44 connected with the frame 42 and extensions 44 respectively keep the same from bounding outwardly when the fish body strikes the shoes 45.

In advance of the splitter is a springpressed presser 46 of substantially the same construction and operation as the presser described in my aforementioned pending application Serial No. 335,517 and likewise swingably mounted on the frame of the splitter.

The remaining parts to be now described are the same in construction and arrange ment as in my aforementioned pending application Serial No. 397,436.

Reference numerals 46 and 48 designate scrapers mounted in the path of the fish body beyond the splitter 41 on hangers 46 and 48 respectively which are swingably 1 supported on a shaft 47 journaled on frame by the scrapers. As shown, each scraper,

part 1 and connected with shaft 34 by gears 47'. Associated with the scrapers 46 and 48, respectively, are rotary devices 49 and 50 which serve to remove the entrails dislodged extends about the edge of its respective removing device. adjacent the'carrier and is provided with outwardly extending arms The shaft 43 is connected to present its upper edge in the proper position for scraping. To secure the scrapers 1n ad usted positions I have shown curved bolts 51 and 52 seated on the hangers 46 and 48 respectively and provided with screw threads engaging lock nuts arranged at opposite sides of, respective lugs provided on the outer extremities of the scrapers.

The removing device 50 is formed with a disk like center portion provided with a circular cutting edge 50' and having at each side laterally projecting wings 53 and 54 arranged alternately in spaced apart relations. These wings extend inwardly from the outer edge of the center portion and, as

will be observed, each is formed of considerable width throughout the major portion of its length so as to offer support for the en trails dislodged from the fish body. The device 49 is substantially the same as device 50 excepting that .the cutting edge is omitted and the wings 53' and 54 are extended across the edge of the center portion.

The devices 49 and 50 are driven through the medium of shafts 55, 56, journaled on the frames 46, 48 and connected, by suitable gearing, with-shaft 34 and with the spindles of respective removing devices to rotate the latter in the directions indicated by the arrows shown in Fig. 1.

Reference numeral 55 vdesignates adjusters conveniently inthe form of circular brushes secured to respective shafts 56 disposed at opposite sides of the scraping and removing devices and rotatably supported on angle brackets 57 swingably engaged with a shaft 58 journaled on frame part 1, and connected with shaft 34 by means of gears 58'. These adjusters are arranged adjacent their resaid devices enter the same, and the shafts" 56' are connected with shaft 58 by means of gears 59 suitably arranged to rotate the ad justers in the direction indicated by the arrows shown in Fig. 3,'whereby the opposing sides of the adjusters will hold the side walls of the fish body in position during the scraping and removing operation.

To support the shafts 56 at their lower extremities I have shown the same engaged with suitable jo-urnals provided on a bar 59' having secured thereto lateral extensions as 60 which engage adjacent uprights 2 of the main frame.

After the fish has been decapitated the body portion is moved back downward on the feedway 22 to project the tail part between the carrier sections 4, as heretofore described, into engagement with a suitable stop 61 provided within the sweep of the grippers23, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1. As the said grippers pass the point of feed they are moved into engagement with the fish body, as heretofore described, and hold the same to movement with the carrier, thereby bringing the tail portion of the fish body against the cutter 26 to produce a cut severing the caudal fin.

During u ward movement of the fish body from the-point of feed it passes between suitable guides 62 carried by spring pressed arms 62' pivotally supported on a cross member of the main frame and connected by suitable gear sectors 63 to obtain equal adjustment of the guides 62-to insure the fish body swinging to position between the carrier sections 4, the opposing edge portions 4 of which serve as a seat for the fish body as it moves toward the cutters 27 and 28.

As the fish body approaches head 28 the tapering tail port-ion passes between the guide sections 35 into enga ement with heel of cutter 28 and thereby a justs said head outwardl permitting said sections to swing rearward y 0 connections 35 and embrace the body at a suitable inclination to insure their engagement with the horizontal fins. As the body is advanced between these guide sections it forces them to move laterally with'the base sections 35 against action of spring 37, and the convex portions 40 of member 40 pressing upon said body tends to draw the horizontal fins to erect positions between the wings of said members which support the said fins for severing action of cutter 28, while cutter 27 severs the dorsal finand adjusts the body outwardly to position it for subsequent operations.

Associated with the grippers 23 are other. means for engaging the fish body to secure the same in adjusted position following the fin severing operation, the said means comprising devices 23' arranged in opposing relations on the carrier sections 4 and engaging respective cam grooves 3". These grooves are suitably provided in the track sections 3 to move the devices 23 into engagement with the fish body as it passes-the cutter 28 and move them to relatively disengaging positions as the body passes beneath said sections.

Each of the devices 23' includes a plurality of prongs 65 supported on a head 66 and slidably engaged in suitable apertures provided in the edge portions of the respective carrier section 4. Each head 66 is provided with a suitable roller 70, for engaging the adjacent cam groove 3?, and formed with upwardly projecting extensions 67, 67 and 68 provided with suitable apertures which slidably receive respective prongs 65 so that the latter may be adjusted longitudinally for proper engagement with the fish body. To

secure the prongs in adjusted position 1 pro- I vide a resilient means 69 for each head in the form of a V-shaped spring which straddles the extension 68 and is provided with aper- 65 I provide a pluralityof stems 65 for each device 23. These stems are slidably mounted in" suitable apertures provided in theedge poytions of respective carrier sections 4 and adjustably engaged. with respective heads 66 in the same manner as that described for the prongs 65 of the heads 66. On the opposing ends of the center stems 65 I provide gripping members 71 which are suitably mounted on respective stems for rotary movement to avoid mutilationof' the'fish body as it swings toward and from the carr1e Referring now to the further operation of the machine, the fish body passes-from the cutter 27 between suitable guide members 7 2 arranged substantially the same as those disclosed in Fig. 2 to center the-body relatively.

to the splitter 41 as the heads 66 are moved to engage the prongs 65 with. the body to secure it in adjusted position. From the guides 72 the fishbodypasses into engagement with the presser 46, splitter 41 and spreader 44 successively, the latter of which spreads the side walls of the body apart for entrance of the scraper 46 as the body passes between the adjacent adjusters 55, which act to draw the said walls about the scraper as the wings on device 49 break the entrails crowded out by the scraper.-

the membrane along the back bone and conveys away the entrails and pigment dislodged while the adjacent adjusters 55 hold the walls of the body in proper position to be acted upon by said scraper. As the fish body passes beneath theicarrier the heads 66 are moved in the manner heretofore described. to disengage the prongs 65, and as As the fish body passes scraper 48, the device 50 severs.

the grippers 23 approach the point of feed in cross section. and rearwardly diverging means.
